Hey, if anyone else has Keratosis Pilaris, maybe you could give me some advice. I have KP on my arms, thighs, shoulders, etc. It wouldn't bother me as much if there wasn't so much scarring; but I have been scratching the affected areas for quite a while, and now there are scabs/scarring to go along with the KP. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to treat KP fast, like any good exfoliants or creams? Or can anyone relate to this situation?

kp is hereditary. Half the people in my family have it. If it is KP there should be others in your family that have it . I used Retin-a used to treat acne, when i was a teenager. and a good moisturizer containing aloe, shea butter, and/or vitamin e is best.
By the time I was 20 it had cleared up a lot, My diet was also a lot better by then as well.
I have no problem now... some people keep it ,mine went away.. good luck

Usually women are the ones embarrassed by a skin condition but guys get self-conscious too. My keratosis pilaris really got to me in my late teens. I got made fun of by my so-called friends and became dptressed and withdrawn. Comments like, what's that leprosy stuff on your arms?
I can't tell you how many dates and social outings I've missed because of keratosis pilaris. I always thought just what if I didn't have this. But thanks to this program I'm almost totally clear. I'm dating now. I'm actually asking my friends to go to the beach. I'm more outgoing. Life is good.

You really need to read "Banish My Bumps" by Angela Steinberg (also available in electronic format here: http://www.banishbumps.com ). It's about how to permanently cure your Keratosis Pilaris naturally. I was able to clear my skin in only 7 days after reading this.
Stop paying paying each month good money on creams. This is exactly what the pharmaceutical industry wants you to do! They want to milk money from you each month.

try to look for an alexandrite laser..ask the laser dermatologist for the particular procedure but this laser is mainly for hair removal.KP as far as I know looks like a hair follicle that didnt come out right?
